Sometimes clothes aren’t even made out of FABRIC 💎

We can still fix that 🛠️

The neck strap on this rhinestone halter dress was too long, causing the front of the dress to droop too low on the customer’s chest. With some scissors and a jewelry clasp, it’s now the perfect length!

Bridal season is in ✨FULL SWING✨

I’m loving all of your gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and fun customization projects from heirlooms!

My books for August and September brides are closed, but I’m still taking on dresses for October and November. Book today so we can get that dress wedding day ready!

Tea length ➡️ Party ready!

Shortening a vintage gown into a modern cutie is a great way to wear a loved one’s dress on your big day 🤍

👗 The Dress ➡️ The Bustle ➿

Wedding gown bustles can get a little complicated, so I try to make sure it’s as easy as possible for you (or your bridesmaids) to get that train dance floor ready on your big day!

I encourage brides to bring someone along with them to a final fitting and have them video me doing the bustle. I also let them practice the bustle themselves…

And sometimes I include a cute little hand drawn diagram for extra assurance that they can get it done in a pinch 😁

What a fun project to collaborate on with local florist Bri's Floral Studio 💐💖

Sewed up some custom preschool graduation stoles that were adorned with fresh flowers 🌼🌸🌷

As always, bring me all of your super creative ideas! If it’s made from fabric, I can work with it!

I’m finally ready to share the BIG news:

✨WE’VE MOVED✨

But don’t worry, the new shop isn’t too far away. Made by Hand is now operating out of the Garden City Plaza in Monroeville, right next to Meglio’s Pizza.

This move is HUGE. Not only is the new space larger, it’s ground level for easier access for my clients with mobility issues. Being a storefront I will also be able to offer regular walk-in hours (more info on that coming soon!).

And the best part of this move is that I can now pursue the other half of my dream for this business. Made by Hand was born from my love of the maker community, and so I’m ready to dive in and expand that community to more people. I will be starting up occasional workshops and classes in the new space, and I am working out the logistics of offering some craft/sewing notions in the future!

I’m so excited to open this new chapter and see what kind of season it brings! The new space is still appointment only for now, but please follow along for more updates about the shop!

⭐️If you have an outstanding appointment with me already, I will be sending out emails and messages to everyone to let them know about the move and the new address ⭐️

Thank you EVERYONE who has supported this little shop over the past year. I’m where I am because of you all 🥰
